WHEN Mayor Bloomberg presented Curtis Sliwa with the Key to the City the other night at the Pierre, where the Guardian Angels celebrated their 30th anniversary, Sliwa noted, “It’s ironic, because previous mayors [before Rudy Giuliani] treated us like hemorrhoids.” He wondered, “Are you sure this isn’t the same key that was used to lock me up in central booking 76 times?” Gloria Gaynor sang “I Will Survive.” The Angels not only survived — the crime-fighting group has chapters today in 140 cities in 14 countries.
